It is very natural for a young friend and a young lover to think the persons they love have nothing to do but to please them.

Where London's column, pointing at the skies, Like a tall bully, lifts the head, and lies.

Happy the man whose wish and care a few paternal acres bound, content to breathe his native air in his own ground.

But if you'll prosper, mark what I advise, Whom age, and long experience render wise.
